This will be my first attempt at the Ludum Daré 😉 I’m writing (almost) everything from scratch in Haskell. I have some stub game code to start from that includes opengl bindings, windowing, keyboard, mouse and joystick control. All of that amounts to me being able to control a sprite of a grim reaper using my joystick:

In my toolchain I’m using vim for editing, ghc for compilation, hdevtools for quick error checking, steeloverseer for file watching / automatic recomp, and photoshop for image editing. If all goes well I should have a very minimal game without sound by the end of the weekend. Let’s hope!
